Great, reliable product with smooth onboarding experience
Great product, great onboarding, amazing support and a real time saver!
PROSSurfboard is just aesthetically pleasing, my team love the look, and I love the look. It makes identifying your Activities much easier when we can colour-coordinate them. The onboarding experience was smooth and fun, [sensitive content hidden] and the team made sure to tick every box and dot every i to make sure we were running smoothly and anything not going so well was resolved quickly.I love that it does most of the heavy lifting, meaning I can concentrate more on other tasks than having to monotonously schedule each day out, it gives me a lot of time back.
CONSThe only feature I have run into issues with is the "rescheduling" feature only allows for a full week to be rescheduled instead of 1 day or one person in the team. Although I understand why this is the case, to make sure that all areas of the Q are covered and shared fairly, I think for smaller teams we need more flexibility to change one person's shift without disrupting a full team's rota. I know a new feature may be in the works for this already, just showing again Surfboard attention to client needs.

User friendly and customised workforce management
The team are very available and helpful, there is a lot on the roadmap and the product it always evolving in many ways to our needs. We've been really valued by the team and feedback has been taken onboard. Its been a gamechanger for our team in terms of our daily workflow and intraday management.
PROSThe product is easy to view and understand by our team and new features and improvements are constantly being made,
CONSIt still needs some work on the rescheduling function (in the works) to make real time changes more easily. Would be useful to be able to allign with budgeting for the forecasting area.
Reason for choosing Surfboard
It was more simplified and easy to go from this from a spreadsheet, other alternatives almost felt too complex.

Surfboard for CD review
Surfboard has helped us bring a clearer vision of the team and also activity needs. It has changed the way we spread the team across different channels (phones, chats, emails, etc) and give much more structure to the day.
PROSIt's visually pleasing and the view of the day is clear. The support team is great and super reactive - they always take our feedback in consideration and work on quick fixes. I've seen so much improvement already since the day when we first used Surfboard to now, so I'm confident it will keep on improving.
CONSit's quite tricky to get the algorithm to work exactly as we would love to. Often we see days where activities are not shared evenly between the team, some other activities are missing, etc.It still requires a lot of manual adjustments before we can solely follow the schedule. This is why I would be a bit hesitant to recommend it as it is now, as it is still quite time consuming to get the schedule accurate each day.

A breath of fresh air
Overall I've enjoyed this experience, it's saved managers hours each week and there is a marked improvement in team performance. Over time the tool has learned our habits and requires fewer manual edits over time.
PROSThe automation of tasking based on prior inbound tickets is a lifesaver. It takes the guesswork out of scheduling peoples' weeks and ensures they're where they need to be for our customers. Slack integration is also amazing, making sure the team are where they need to be and switching tasks on-time.
CONSHaving to create a calendar and invite a Surfboard email account to track holiday and OOO was a bit clunky but it's become easier over time as updates roll out regularly.

Surfboard is a Must Have!
I would definitely recommend Surfboard- the platform and the people behind it are brilliant.
PROSSurfboard has revolutionised our way of scheduling. It's easy to use for both admins and users, it offers great features and there are more on the way.The top releases for us are Slack integration for the Team and shift pattern rotation for the admins.
CONSIt would be great to be able to plan daily activities more than a week ahead but I know this is already in the works! We're also very keen to see reporting on the activities breakdown per surfer per month!

A great platform to help with such a disruptive task!
We now don't need to spend valuable time manually creating schedules, and we also know that each task is well-staffed.
PROSThe ease of use as both admin and surfer. Both parties can easily access what they need when they need it and the visuals are very user-friendly.
CONSThe alerts comes through early which can confuse some surfers via Slack integration. The update of the schedule regarding sickness or holidays can take 20-30 mins to update which isn't ideal.

Super easy to pick up
Super easy to use, easy to navigate and everything is very self-explanatory, love that it takes absences from charlie HR
